With Pineda set to hit free agency at the end of the season, the once promising prospect who has had a rash of injuries throughout his career is unlikely to return to the Yankees organization.

Pineda,28, missed all of 2012-13 with shoulder issues and has averaged 22.3 starts in the four years since failing to top 180-innings.

Pineda had a solid start to the 2017 season posting a 7-3 record in his first 14 appearances to the tune of a 3.56 ERA. Pineda fell off shortly after and his ERA dropped to 4.39 after the last three starts.
